Hola! I wanted to wait for more reviews or something...but I'm too impatient with this story and I have too much free time right now. ^^ Kudos to all reading this because you are nice enough to come back to read the second chapter!! OMG, I shall now reply to my one and only reviewer.
Ali Phantom: Thanks! I only just now figured out there are only like 8 FMA/Host Club crossovers. And *hands virtual cookie* that is for being my first reveiwer! ^^
Sigh, no one guess who landed on Ed and Al in the last chapter. And I thought I made it obvious. DX All well, no more waiting. On with the FanFic!
Disclaimer thingy: I do not in any way own Fullmetal Alchemist or Ouran High School Host Club! If I did do you think I'd really be writing, um, typing this?
Collisions
By StarNight888
Haruhi didn't really know what happened. She could have sworn she had heard Tamaki's voice ahead. She had been sure of it. Kyoya had sent the girl to grab some supplies for tomorrow's theme while she was still in costume, a western cowboy outfit of the sorts. Wanting to get home quickly, Haruhi had started to jog halfway back so she could change and go.
After she heard Tamaki's voice (or at least she thought she had) the latest member of the Host Club decided she would leave the supplies with the so called "king". Of course, Haruhi hadn't been expecting her somewhat large costume to make her trip. Nor had she planned on colliding into a stranger and ending up in a tangled mess on the ground.
Rubbing her now-sore head, the scholar opened her eyes to meet another pair of startling gold.
"Oh!" Haruhi exclaimed as she jerked her head away from the stranger's face. She's never seen gold eyes before. The face belonged to a boy with long, equally gold hair. She also saw another boy underneath him who had light brown hair and warm, chocolate eyes. Isn't he in my class?Haruhi thought. What was his name…?
"Yo, daydreamer. Mind getting the Hell off me and my brother?"
Haruhi started out of her own thoughts as she heard the boy speak. He sounds just like Tamaki…minus the idiotic tone, she immediately noticed. Then, seeing she was still on top of them both, the girl mumbled an apology and attempted to remove herself.
"Haruhi?!" said another voice, one that sounded just like the strangers. The boy with brown hair tried to look at his presumed brother, which wasn't working since he was under him, and the golden haired boy looked startled as Tamaki made his entrance.
"Oh, Haruhi! What happened?" he asked in an overdramatic voice he always had, this time ringing with worry as he helped Haruhi up. "Are you injured?" The rest of the Host Club filed in when the other two boys were untangling themselves.
"No Sempai, I just tripped," Haruhi stated bluntly as she picked up her fallen supplies.
"Now who…" began Hikaru, popping up behind the blond.
"…do we have here?" finished Kaoru, appearing behind the brunet. The boy with golden eyes glared at the twins while the one with brown eyes seemed surprised and a little confused.
"Edward and Alphonse Elric, new students as of today," Kyoya supplied, writing something down in his notebook and giving a nod to Mori-sempai. Taking his cue, Mori stepped forward and took the supplies from Haruhi, revealing Hunny, dressed as a little Indian, behind him.
"Are you lost?" the 17-year-old asked with an innocent smile, nibbling on a piece of cake.
"Um, no," the boy with brown hair, Alphonse, said, his eyes flicking between Hunny and the staring twins. "We both got this letter that told—"
"Ah yes!" Tamaki interrupted. "Father said that we might have an unusual guest or two." Adjusting a bandana tied around his neck, the Suoh bowed with a flourish.
"Let me introduce myself," he began. "I am Tamaki Suoh, leader of the fine establishment known to many as the Host Club." Tamaki pointed toward Kyoya who was still writing in his notebook. "This is Kyoya Ootori, my vice president as well as head of fanatical business and such," the blond introduced.
"I'm Hikaru," Hikaru imputed.
"And I'm Kaoru," Kaoru added.
"No I'm Kaoru," Hikaru said.
"Uh-uh, that's me," Kaoru mischievously argued.
"Wrong," Hikaru argued back, making a buzzing noise and crossing his arms into an "X".
"Wait, maybe it's the other way around," both said in harmony, switching places smoothly behind the two new students with evil grins. The blond, Edward, scowled and Alphonse looked more and more confused.
"Sorry 'bout them, they like to mess with people's heads," Haruhi interjected. "I'm Haruhi by the way." Alphonse gave a polite nod while Edward continued to glare at the red-headed twins.
"Hikaru," Edward labeled with a pointed finger at Hikaru, and then pointed at Kaoru. "Kaoru." The twins frowned and Edward gave a triumphant smirk, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"This guy's no fun," they sighed together as they walked away. Hunny-sempai walked up and tugged on Alphonse's uniform sleeve. The boy looked down and offered a hesitant smile. Hunny must have taken this as permission to introduce himself, as he smiled and did so.
"I'm Hunny and that's Mori over there!" the kid-yet-not-kid said cheerily while glancing between the brothers and Mori-sempai. "You want any cake?"
"Uh…no thanks," Alphonse replied uncertainly. Hunny-sempai simply shrugged and resumed nibbling. Edward glanced at his brother and sighed.
"Listen I'm Ed and he's Al, if you haven't already been told, and we just came here as our last run through all the clubs we're supposed to go to," Ed stated with a frown, grabbing his brother's arm and beginning to drag him out the door. "Sorry to be a bother, but we'll see ourselves out." Haruhi shrugged, thinking it was over. But then, Tamaki stepped toward the two boys as if to stop them. Oh no…was her only thought right then.
"Please wait! Attendez!(1)" the leader of the Host Club called. "We've actually been looking for some new members for quite a while and you two just might fit the description!"
"New members?" Hikaru and Kaoru chorused, stopping in their private game that they had started once Edward had labeled them. Hunny and Haruhi looked curiously at Kyoya for answers while Mori looked as impassive as ever. The "dark king" of the group had stopped his note-taking and was adjusting his glasses.
"It's true," he confirmed. "We've learned through once everyday clients who stopped coming that women eventually become bored of wonderful things if they see them enough, and that includes men. Tamaki and I have been keeping an eye out for any different and charming young men who might prove useful to the Host Club in this situation." The twins made an "hmm" sound and Mori and Hunny nodded. Haruhi turned back to the departing Elrics and Tamaki.
"Thanks but no thanks," Ed called over his shoulder with a half-hearted wave. "Try to find some other guys."
"Brother!" Al cried as he tried (and failed) to break Edward's grip, and was dragged out of the club room. When the doors closed, Tamaki just sort of stood there, staring at it. He then did a very Tamaki-like thing. He walked over to a dark corner, crouched down, and sulked.
"Don't worry boss, we're sure…" Kaoru started.
"…there are other guys you could take on besides those…" Hikaru continued.
"Rejects," they both finished, each making a buzzing sound and making large "X" signs with their arms. Tamaki just kept sulking and muttering.
"He'll get over it," Haruhi sighed, walking to the dressing room. Before closing the door, she glanced to where the new students had disappeared. This is either the end of it, or it's all just beginning, the girl thought as she shut the door.
Slam!
Edward walked away from his now closed door and collapsed on his bed. What a frinken long day, he thought while rubbing his temples. And that damn Host Club…it was just stupid. The boy gave a loud sigh as his golden eyes passed over his mountain of homework.
"Ed!" Al said as he entered his sibling's room. "Why did you just drag us out like that?" Ed rolled onto his stomach so he could look at Alphonse. The brunet didn't seem too mad, but had a more concerned expression on his face. He's probably just worried about me being rude to them, Edward thought with an inward sigh.
"Because it seemed stupid and I didn't have any more time to waste on things that I wouldn't go to," he answered bluntly, gesturing to his homework. "Besides, would you have wanted to something that involved 'entertaining' rich girl snobs who didn't have anything better to do? All going, 'you're just so charming Alphonse, could I please have some more imported tea?'" Edward finished his imitation with a snooty look on his face and talking in a high-pitched, British voice.
"Well, um, no but…" Al attempted to reply, at a loss for words.
"Then we're agreed," his brother finalized with a smirk. Alphonse frowned, angry that Ed had gotten the best of him in under a minute. He began to retort but was stopped by Edward's afterthought.
"Hell, I bet they entertain guys there too," he remarked in revulsion. Al raised a quizzical eyebrow at this, for he hadn't notice a girl member of the Host Club."What? You didn't see the girl that fell on us? Hahiru…Harihu…." Edward said, fumbling for the forgotten name.
"Haruhi," his brother supplied, and then looked confused again. "But I thought he was a guy." Ed gave Al a funny look.
"No…she was defiantly a girl," the blond said matter-a-factly. "Trust a guy who got a close up look at her." Alphonse forehead creased as he thought.
"Then why was she wearing the boys uniform?" the brunet asked. "And if she was a girl and the Host Club's clients are only other girls…" Al's expression turned into one of disgust.
"That's screwed up," Edward said, a similar expression coming over his face as well.
"Maybe there's another reason…" Alphonse started to mutter.
Ding-dong.
The brothers ceased conversation when the door bell rang. Molten gold met chocolate brown as both teens made a silent agreement to figure out what was happening in the Host Club. Without another word, they made their way downstairs to see who the guest was. By the time they made it to the door, their mother had already answered it and was welcoming their visitor.
"Why, hello Roy! I'm glad you found your way here well enough…" Trisha was saying. Oh no, please no…Edward thought with dread.
There stood Roy Mustang, smug smirk and all.
"Well if it isn't the Colonel Bastard himself," Ed muttered as he approached. Roy had been a family friend of the Elrics for a while now and Edward had been hoping to leave him back in their old home. He wasn't actually in the military, but his father had been a Colonel so they all nicknamed him Colonel Mustang (except Ed). Mustang and Edward weren't exactly on the best terms. In truth, they both practically hated each other.
"Pardon me Ed, I didn't catch that," Roy said, still smirking. You heard it alright you bastard, the blond thought, grinding his teeth. You and that damn smirk of yours.
"Oh, nothing," he replied innocently with a fake smile as Al greeted the visitor. Colonel Mustang stepped inside and hung his coat on the large coat tree by the door, like he came here every day. Ed had to clench his fist to keep himself from punching the man square in the jaw. Trisha closed the front door behind him.
"Boys, Roy was in town and I decided that we should have dinner together," Mrs. Elric said cheerily. "Now I want you to both behave as we don't get to see him too often now." Trisha looked pointedly at Edward when she said this and he flinched at her icy gaze. Moms sure could be scary.
"That means no cursing, slapping, punching…" Alphonse listed quietly with a grin at his older brother.
"Shut it," Ed muttered with a shove to Al's shoulder to make his point. Roy chuckled, which only made Edward angrier, and was led to the kitchen by Trisha, where her home made cooking was waiting. The rest of dinner was…well, let's just say this.
It was Hell to Ed.
(1) It means "wait!" in French.
You know, this was a fun chapter to write. Lots of comedy and confusion on Ed and Al's part when the Host Club introduced themselves. It was hard to write Tamaki. I'm not good at non-serious charaters! DX I hope I at least got him close....Then there was Roy. Well, lets just call his entrance a "stroke of comdey relief" ^^. You know, unlike a lot of FanFics, you may found Ed has a cleaner mouth in mine. I just don't like swaring and if my parents read where he loses his temper....not good end results. Okay, cliffhanger time!
Now that the Elrics have found out Haruhi's secret what will they do to get the truth? More importantly, what will the Host Club do to keep it a secret?! Stay tuned and R&R to find out!
Thank yous to alllll of you who are reading this! I'm so happy that some people in FanFiction are actually reading my little FanFic. :) I'll see you 'round!
